The Disabled Drivers and Disabled Passengers (Tax Concessions) Scheme (DPD), legislated for under Statutory Instrument No. 353 of 1994 as amended, provides for the repayment or remission of VAT and Vehicle Registration Tax (VRT) on the purchase of an adapted vehicle for the transport of a person with specific severe and permanent physical disabilities. Qualification for the scheme also provides access to the Fuel Grant scheme and for a waiver from motor tax.
I am advised by Revenue that while they are unable to locate any DPD application with the information provided they will make contact with the Deputy to progress the matter. In the meantime if the person concerned requires further assistance, the Central Repayments Office can be contacted on (01)-738 3671 (Monday to Friday 9:30am-1:30pm).
Full details of the DPD scheme, including how to make an application, are available on the Revenue website at www.revenue.ie/en/importing-vehicles-duty-free-allowances/documents/vrt/online-dd1form-guide.pdf.
